Howard Saiger, acting chief of asbestos control at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said that asbestos didn't pose a threat unless someone disturbed and fibers were released. New use of asbestos has been prohibited by federal regulation since late 1972. Asbestos is used in insulation and fireproofing. If the fishhook-like asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause lung diseases, or possibly lung cancer, Saiger said. Asbestos insulation also has been found in buildings razed to build the Robert Dole Human Development Center and on the second, third, and fourth floors of the Kansas Union, said Bob Porter, associate director of physical plant maintenance. He said the asbestos had to be removed prior to tearing down the buildings and before renovation work began. "It's for the protection of everybody," Porter said. "It's for the protection of the workmen and also the University, because the asbestos can get into the air." Porter said the University didn't have a complete record of buildings on campus containing asbestos insulation. However, when asbestos is found during building repairs, facilities operations employees record where it is. The employees, who are certified each year by the state to inspect asbestos insulation in buildings, also recommend whether to remove the asbestos. Because of the high cost of removing asbestos insulation. Saiger said that in some cases it was more practical to leave the asbestos in the building. If repairs are minor and asbestos fibers aren't stirred up and allowed to circulate, the asbestos can be safely left intact. Saiger said that state regulations didn't directly concern the University. Public and private schools for grades kindergarten through 12 must hire a qualified person to locate and assess asbestos insulation for the likelihood that fibers would be released. However, the University is not required to identify areas containing asbestos. Jim Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said asbestos was removed from some areas of Snow Hall before the first phase of renovations. A new environmental process took from December 1986 to May 1997.
